Actually we had a french wine on Saturday too but it was a Chablis, I chose this wine to review as we had it yesterday in celebration of the French winning the world cup yesterday. This was a very good wine but I think it will be better in 2 or 3 years as it was a little tight even with decanting and letting it breathe. The has a very deep dark purple color, it is very intense with toasty taste with deep blackberries and tart dark raspberries, a hint of green in it. The finish is very long on the mouth, the aromas are very rich and dark deep fruit. It paired well with our weekly steak, salad and sweet potatoes.
Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert i was glad to hear they won as I knew the French were your choice to win .Will keep this wine in mind
Happy Monday

Hi
I didn't see the match yesterday and had to Google the results a short while ago. I truly thought Croatia would beat France. Who knows, maybe the game with England did them in. cheers cvc

Love reading wine reviews. I tend to stick with things I know and not venture too far from that without inside knowledge. Thanks for sharing yours.

Endre Barath, Jr. You are right we did let it breathe it was still tight but that was the only French wine we had besides champagne and was not in the mood for that!
Yolanda, love your wine reviews, and always see a new wine I have not seen before!

I am unfamiliar with that one, Yolanda but I trust you and love your very detailed descriptions.
Howdy Yolanda Cordova-Gilbert and Robert Bob Gilbert we miss seeing you in the RAIN. I can't talk since I've been absent time to time. Hope you two are well and living life. God bless you.
Hi
